[QUOTE="FuzzyGrub, post: 209512, member: 3438"] Another 2 stroke fan that dreads the day I have to consider a 4-stroke. Since I do all my own maintenance and repair, I might consider a 4-stroke carb over a computer controlled fuel injection 2 stroke, though. The latter usually requires allot of specialized equipment. While I enjoy learning new equipment, I don't like buying it. ;) IMHO, they will not be able to economicly get the weight out and keep reliability, especially on the small outboards. 4 strokes need more displacement to get the same equivelent hp as a 2 stroke. Larger pistons and crank require larger block. Add cam, gears, push rods, and valves. Exotic materials to make them lighter with same or better strength, will push the price too high. [/QUOTE]
